Keeping tabs on authors in LINKcat: Gary Indiana



 South Central Library System LINKcat online catalog

New York Times, 10/9/2024

Prolific and polymathic, but not an author who was widely read.
Prolific and polymathic, Mr. Indiana was the author of more than 10 books of fiction, memoir and criticism, all of which tackled, in one way or another, a culture careering toward ruin. 
“Horse Crazy” (1989) [not in LINKcat] is a roman à clef about a 30-something writer obsessed with a beautiful, young, heroin-addled photographer — a “Death in Venice” set in the East Village amid the darkening storm of AIDS. “Resentment: A Comedy,” [not in LINKcat]  published in 1997, was the first book in Mr. Indiana’s lightly fictionalized crime trilogy; its backdrop is the Los Angeles trial of the Menendez brothers for the murder of their parents, a setting that allowed Mr. Indiana to skewer celebrity culture in a collection of scabrous and hilarious portraits. Richard Bernstein, writing in The New York Times, praised Mr. Indiana for his “dazzlingly good writing.”
